Amazing Women in Maritime
Meet the Amazing Women in Maritime
In honor of International Maritime Organization's International Women in Maritime Day and Maritime Month, we're proud to launch our second annual Amazing Women in Maritime campaign.
Over the next 7 days leading to International Women in Maritime Day on May 18th, we'll be sharing stories from women across the maritime industry, what they are most proud of, and what they want the next generation to know.
These women are the industry. And we're here to make sure everyone knows it.
Meet Our Amazing Women: Krisit McKenney
Making history doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes it starts with one appointment.
We're proud to spotlight Kristi McKenney, Executive Director of the Port of Oakland, and the first woman ever appointed to lead it. In her Amazing Women in Maritime video, Kristi takes us through her role, a day in her life at one of the West Coast's most vital ports, and what it meant, personally and professionally, to step into that seat for the first time.
Her story is one of leadership, perseverance, and what's possible when doors that were once closed finally open.
We Asked Our Amazing Women: What is your proudest moment?
Our Amazing Women in Maritime campaign continues with a special compilation featuring some of the inspiring women spotlighted throughout this series
In this compilation, some of the incredible women featured throughout the campaign reflect on the moments in their maritime careers that have made them proudest: from career milestones and hard-earned accomplishments to the experiences that continue to inspire them every day.
Their stories are a powerful reminder of the leadership, resilience, and impact women bring to the maritime industry.
Meet Our Amazing Women: Fran Ohlheiser
As we continue our celebration of International Maritime Organization's Women in Maritime Day, we're proud to spotlight Frances Ohlheiser, Director of Communications at Yusen Terminals LLC, whose years of experience in port operations have helped pave the way for so many women in maritime.
In her Amazing Women in Maritime video, Fran takes us on a tour of Yusen Terminals and walks us through a day in her life, giving us an inside look at what it takes to keep one of the West Coast's busiest terminals running.
Her story is one of dedication, deep industry knowledge, and the kind of quiet leadership that lifts everyone around it.
